If you live in Cedarville and are working through I-526, you already know how easy it is to make a mistake that delays your case by months. At Asal Immigration Services, we support each I-526 packet methodically, check every required document, and hand you a complete, organized filing. Cedarville residents are served from our Columbus office, with phone support available before making the trip from Greene County.
We help Cedarville clients prepare for their I-526 appointment before they visit our Columbus office. Call first and we will explain which documents to bring. Cedarville clients visiting our North Columbus office on Morse Road appreciate our transparent, flat-rate fees and our ability to serve them in Somali, Arabic, and English. Most packets are ready within 24–48 hours of your document drop-off.
Service is provided at our Columbus office (3185 Morse Rd, Ste 15). We do not operate a separate staffed office in Cedarville.
What Form I-526 is for
Used by immigrant investors to petition for classification based on qualifying investment in a U.S. commercial enterprise.
Immigrant Petition by Standalone Investor (I-526) is generally filed by employers, workers, and investors in employment-based immigration categories. Whether this form fits your situation depends on your specific facts, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official USCIS page before you file.

Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-526 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for I-526 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
